So, here's a question for you all, especially the guys:
(Bear in mind, since I haven't dated since the 70's, I'm flying blind here).
34 year old guy - we had drinks last Thursday, prolonged parking lot kissing session after. When I got home he'd sent me a short sweet email, and when I answered it, he sent me a reply first thing the next morning. Didn't hear from him all weekend, but it was Halloween. Monday hear from him by email - he'd had his family down for a party (lol - no wonder he didn't contact me - wouldn't want to have to explain me to mom and dad).
Tuesday night he comes on chat and we have a long convo. He's very flirtatious, some chit chat about his work (busy) and my week (busy) but also about how attractive he found me etc etc.
Finally it is quite late and I mention that if he wants to DO anything about that attraction he might have to actually ask me out on a date (the drinks last week were my idea, I was working late and we were chatting at that time, I said I really needed to get something to eat and he could join me). He says it will have to wait until he's not passing out (it was QUITE late by that time) but wishes me wonderful dreams and calls me "beautiful one".
Sounds good, right? But now it's Thursday night and I haven't heard a thing. Shouldn't a guy who is interested in seeing me again, be thinking about reserving some weekend time with me? I don't want to get a call Saturday afternoon asking what I'm doing that night.
To complicate things, I happen to have tickets to a cool concert Sat. nite, that I bought a couple of weeks ago. It would be really fun to go with him, BUT I am NOT asking him out again - he NEEDS to be the one to ask ME out. I was hoping he would ask, and then I could mention I had these tickets, would he like to go? But if he doesn't ask soon, I'm just going to ask a friend to go. (I'd ask one of the other two guys but they are both in L.A., about 90 mins away).
Am I just expecting too much in terms of a first date request? Is it the norm for younger people to make last minute plans? How late can I accept a date without looking like I'm sitting around waiting? (actually I have a very busy weekend, if he waits too long I won't be able to schedule him in).
I'd think he has other dates already, or that he's got cold feet about the age thing, except he sounded SO excited about being with me.
